Fiery Avocado Red Curry and Shrimp image

Dear Mexican Avocado, This is a recipe I specifically created for you. I made it for my family last night for dinner and we really enjoyed it. We enjoy Thai red curry and avocados separately and it really wasn't until I found out that you were looking for a new love that I thought of combining these two ingredients. I hope that you will fall hard (in love) with it too.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less red curry paste if you don't like spicy food. Other than that, the recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I've made it several times for my friends and family, and they all love it too. The avocado adds a creamy richness that really complements the spicy red curry.
